Description Darc Sceptor 2025-02-11 17:39:29 UTC 
SUMMARY
In setting of day and night colors the option for Sunrise and Sunset goes to determine location.
Instead of using the setting ALREADY IN EXISTENCE IN THE OS, you appear to do it yourself.
This process just continues running in an infinite loop without every finding my location.
PLEASE NOTE: In the browser I have exposing location turned off. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch Linux Mint to KDE Plasma
2. Right click and Configure Display Settings
3. Choose Night Color and set for Sunset and sunrise at current location (the location is set in the OS for Bogota, Colombia)

OBSERVED RESULT
The text Locating... is put up and a moving bar below that.
It never returns with my location. Did the idiot developer even test this???

EXPECTED RESULT
Use the OS and set to the location set in the OS at install time.
